Update #5: Let's Hear it for New York.
Dear Post-Car Adventuring supporters (especially those of you in New York City),
We will be presenting a proposal for 'Post-Car Adventuring NYC, a guidebook' at the next FEAST in Brooklyn, this coming Saturday, August 21st. We are very excited to be a part of this event and would love to see you there. Come out to enjoy some delicious food, beer from Brooklyn Brewery, and cast a vote for Post-Car Adventuring NYC--if we are chosen by the FEAST community to receive funding, the money will be used to bolster and add to the funding we've generated on kickstarter and will mean that the NYC guidebook will be up and running in just three months from now.

Update #3: 'Post-Car Adventuring Los Angeles' to be featured in high-speed rail exhibition
Our plans for Post-Car Adventuring Los Angeles and our project as a whole are going to be part of an exhibition in Los Angeles titled "LA Beyond Cars, a Global Perspective on Rail and Public Space" on July 29th, 2010. If you live in LA and are able to attend the exhibit, let us know what you think!
The planners and architects of railLA, a progressive and forward-thinking organization that seeks to consider and influence the transportation future of LA particuarly in relation to high-speed rail, are organizing and planning this exhibition. If you live in LA and are able to attend, let us know what you think!
To see the online version of our submission, visit this link: http://railla.org/1943
Think our project would appeal to a friend? Send them a personal message and tell them about our campaign today! We still have a ways to go.

Update #2: The guidebooks get a new page today--'hacking' county bus systems
While we cross our fingers and send mass emails to publicize this campaign, work continues on the computer machine to make sure the guidebooks are ready to print when we hit our goal. Today Justin added this page to our master file, meaning this page will appear in the guidebook for each city and region we cover.
Update #1: Thank You!

This looks awesome.
Good luck with the project... I hope that you DO get funding.
I am planning my trip to NYC in September and am hoping to know how to get myself where I need to go without taxi or needing a car at all. Buses maybe, but no cars.
